Question by Yourmommadontdancetothattune??: Do you think politicians should get special treatment from courts? ?
Here’s an example for ya.
Tom Gosinski was fired from AVMT after expressing concerns about her addiction and habit of writing prescriptions in other people’s names to get drugs. He says that John McCain himself got her a diplomatic passport, which prevents customs officials from searching her bags, and his aides Mark Salter and Torie Clarke coordinated with him (Gosinski) on Cindy’s logistics for his trips abroad. (Mark Salter is still one of McCain’s top aides.) In 1993, Gosinski told the Drug Enforcement Agency that Cindy wrote false prescriptions in his name that year. McCain claims he didn’t know Cindy was an addict when he got her a diplomatic passport, but that’s hard to believe since she had a stretch in rehab back in 1991. Cindy McCain faced 20 years in prison for obtaining “a controlled substance by misrepresenting, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge.” With a wealthy father, high-priced lawyer and Senator husband, she got the lightest possible punishment — charges were dropped in return for her entering rehab. Any regular, much less poor person who had written fraudulent prescriptions, stolen narcotics from a charity and smuggled them around the world would have received several years in prison. Her doctor, for one, lost his license and never practiced again.    Read more...
